Good morning! We’ve been savoring a rare and refreshing stretch of cooler weather. What a welcome change for August! Monday we had a high of 75. Yesterday 81. Normal high 94. We’ll probably reach the upper 80’s through Friday, and maybe Saturday. We’ll be near 90 on Sunday and beyond. As for rain, spotty, scattered afternoon and eveningstorms remain in the forecast, but chances are lower than we’ve seen recently. The tropics continue to blossom. Details below. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
